No, 911 Turbo.

 

Nice choice, not the best time of year to be learning how to keep an Beetle on steroids on the road though!!

oh yeah i love them, borrowed a 997 c4s for a week and my bro has a c2s, brilliant usable cars

As long as they're Coupe's, I'd agree.

 

The Cayman is an annoyingly good car too.

[GIXXERUK]

All apart from the 'C' bit in those model number's, I'd agree.

its probably going to be a 911 or cayman for me next, really didt like the cayman at first but its definitely grown on me

 

nowt wrong with the carrera rob

Change my post bud, sorry!

 

I don't like the looks of the Cayman, but to drive it's a bit good.....

[GIXXERUK]

hated the cayman to start with, it looked like a mongrel 911 but i really like the red cayman now, needs new rims and lowering to make it more aggressive and the prices have dropped nicely

Cayan S perhaps, but I took a Cayman around Thruxton and wasnt massively impressed with it. Sure it feels about as good as the Zed (and probably quicker), but it just seemed to lack something. If I was paying that much more over a Zed (in price and servicing), I'd want more. Saying that the interior is much nicer than the Zed. I'm holding out on the 370z

Nice one bud, sounds like a great car. Any problems then give me a call, I have access to some great knowledge at non Porsche prices

[MITZ@CougarStore]

Nice replacement, looking forward to seeing the photos...

+1

 

Its the natural car to go to next. And i agree - i hated Cayman too (Gayman, as they were originally known!), but now i want one (cayman, not gayman !).

[Trev-the-Rev]

Very nice choice. I'm really into the idea of a Porsche next (Cayman S or C4S) but I do struggle with the prices that they fetch. It's not the actual amount, just how much more they are than a Zed. And although they're great cars, they aren't that much better imo.

Of course......

 

The price and looks are what threw me. I parked it next to the Zed and thought there was no way it looked better than the Zed. Then there was the price. By the time you have a CD player and stitching on the seats (it was 6 months old) it was still £40k+ at the time. No way is it twice as good as the Zed.....

[Stew]

I remember taking a Cayman S out when they weren't that old. Parked the Zed up all clean. Took the Cayman for a blast. The grip was unbelievable (that was the sales dude driving though I NEVER push cars that much!) but apart from that, very underwhelmed. Sure the interior was nicer but it just wasn't worth the £45k price tag. The whole time I was in it I was thinking, slightly older C4S..... I love 911s so it would have to be a 911 for me.

 

My mate (independent German specialist including Porsche) put me off with costs if things go wrong! He did say get an older one, much better.

 

Although going to GT3s and Turbos is a different thing altogether!

 

 

I can't wait to see the pics.

The thing which Porsches is that they sound @*!#. Proper uninspiring, perfectly capable dull cars. There isn't one that i would have over something else in the same price bracket.
